LEWISVILLE â As part of upcoming construction of Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District will build a temporary fossil park which will include a parking lot and access point to the North Sulphur River for fossil hunters.
Construction of this temporary fossil park has begun and is scheduled to open June 18.
It will be located on the north side of the North Sulphur channel river east side of FM 2990 in Fannin County.
âThe District recognizes the importance of the Ladonia Fossil Park to the local community and visitors alike,â said Larry N. Patterson, executive director of Upper Trinity. âBoth the District and City of Ladonia are working to select another, permanent location downstream of the reservoir for the Ladonia Fossil Park, where fossil hunters can continue safe and easy access to the river bottom after the new reservoir is built.â
